Post op question



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 12/7. I feel really great. I’m working out on a regular basis. As of today, I’m down 43Lbs. My issue is I’m hungry more than I thought I’d be. Obviously it doesn’t take much to fill me up; but it worries me to be hungry so often. Has anyone else experienced this?

Intense work outs *may* boost your need for caloric intake which *may* prompt a response from your body to want more calories...

I think regular cardio and strength training is great - training for a marathon will boost hunger. In my view . I still use thebshakes to get the Protein first thing in the am and if I do the hunger is much less -

I use my Fitbit app and log all my liquids . I also do at least one but often 2 Protein Shakes a day . I will Thin then down to get more liquid in . I drink out of a swell bottle and know how much I am drinking . I’ve got to be diligent !

I had my surgery on 12/10 and some days I can eat every 2 hours and some days it's hard to even have one normal meal. I found it best just to get in a routine. For me, I wake up and go for a mile and a half walk. Then an hour or two later i'll try to have a meal (1.5 ounces or less still for me). I just try to eat 3 meals a day, mostly chicken or for a snack i'll have some cheese. So far it's worked well for me I'm down over 70 pounds.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
